She's fierce and she's proud. I'd like to think some of that rubbed off on me. In the film industry, Sidney Poitier, in a broader sense, Muhammad Ali. He put his beliefs above any monetary value. That's why his celebrity has never waned. Movies, TV, sports, come and go, but what you stand for is what people remember. Mandela, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy are people who really stood for something and were willing to die for it. You don't see a whole lot of that any more."

According to the DVD commentary for Stargate SG-1 (1997) Season 3, while filming the episode, _"Stargate SG-1" (1997) {Urgo (#3.16)_, Judge found guest star Dom DeLuise so hilarious, it proved nearly impossible for him to maintain a straight face around DeLuise while cameras were rolling, mainly due to DeLuise's constant improvising on the set, which was something of an issue, given the normally stone-faced, stoic demeanor of Judge's character, "Teal'c". As such, everyone agreed to scale back the scenes involving Teal'c, giving many of his character's lines to other cast members.
